UNiTED STATES PATENT OFFICEa O GEORGE W. BILLINGS, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO OTIS D. CROOKER, OF SAME PLAOE.

VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFIOATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 288,634, dated March 8, 1881.

Application filed July 26, 1880. (No model.)

1' o all whom fit may concer'n:

Be it known that I, GEORGE VV. BILLINGS, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahog'a and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Vapor-Burner, of which the following is a specification.

In the drawing's, Fgure lis a side elevation. Fig'. 2 is a sectional View of the burner. Fig. 3 is a top view.

The nature and object of this invention will fully appear in the subj oined description, when considered with reference to the accornpanying drawings.

A is aperpendicular tube attaohed to a T- 15 joint for connecting` it to lead pipe from fount.

B is a pipe attached by elbow to pipe A, and has a rectangular pipe, O, leading' down and under the burner, provided with jet-orifice, needle-valve, and heater-cup..

The burner consists of two hollow cones having' round tops and having square bases. The lower and inverted cone has an opening, e, in its apex. This cone is secured, at one of its square sides, to and along'side of the pipe B, and situated so as to bring the opening e directly over the jet-orifice. The upper cone is of the same form as the lower, excepting that the top is closed, and it is provided with two rows of perforations-one row near the top, and the other row iii the four square sides ofthe base. The said perforations in the side next to the pipe B are designed to supply heat to said pipe for generating vapor. At the point. of intersection of said cones is placed a diaphragm, f, having a central opening' the same size of opening' e in the lower cone. This diaphragm divides the space within the two cones horizontally .into two chainbers, the upper Chamber being the mixing-chamber. The object of the diaphrag'm is to prevent the obstruction of the central column of vapor in its passag'e to the top of the miXing-chamber by the back action of the Vapor after it has broken up from contact with top of said chamber, and to direct the Vapor to the lower row of perforations to be there consumed, whereby the lowerjets of fiame are increased in volume.

The operation of this is as follows: The vapor from the jet-orifice issues into the lower cone, where the oxygenizat-ion takes place, thence through the diaphragin into the upper cone, and is burned at the perforations, one row of fiame-jets supplying heat for generation by impinging against the pipe B as they pass over it, while they also are employed for the same purpose that the others are.

Having' described my invention, I claim- The herein-described vapor-burner, consisting of the two cones eonstructed in the form shown, placed base to base, and having the diaphragm fat their points of union, iii combination with the pipe B, with its arin O, having' the needle-valve, jet-orifice, and heatercup, whereby one row of the tlame-jets at one side ot' said cone supply heat to the generator, in the manner shown, and for the purpose specified.
